Baked Corn Casserole

July 6, 2010

Summertime in the South comes with a huge variety of fresh produce. Okra, peas of all varieties, butter beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and maybe best of all corn. I’ve had a passion for fresh corn since I was a child. So much so that I can remember stuffing myself with it at the dinner table until [...]

Last weekend, BeeBop and I spent 3 wonderful, relaxing days in Beaufort on the South Carolina coast. Neither of us had been there before but we have long loved the area. Both Savannah and Charleston are favorites of ours. The culture and charm of that whole region is very appealing to us. Since Beaufort is located in between those two [...]

Fried Okra

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for another Deep South favorite, fried okra. Now, I know that okra is one of those vegetables that people either love or hate. There’s not much middle ground with okra, it seems. I fall firmly into the okra-loving group. Pretty much any way you prepare okra, I like it. [...]

Spring has definitely arrived here in north Georgia. The last two days have seen high temperatures in the mid-eighties. Today is predicted to be 86. And after the long, very cold winter we had, I’m loving it! One of the surest signs of spring, and one that I look foward to each year, is the [...]

Turnip Greens and Corn Pone

Turnip Greens and Corn Pone

Okay, everybody. This is about as Southern as it gets. Turnip Greens and Corn Pone. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Whenever the weather starts to turn the least bit cooler I always start thinking about turnip greens. With cornbread on the side. And a baked sweet potato. And maybe a crispy, fried [...]

Stuffed Zucchini

Earlier this summer we had a lovely zucchini plant in our little garden. One zucchini plant. One zucchini plant that darn near took over that entire area of the garden. Even though it was huge, gigantic would be more like it, that darned plant just wasn’t producing anything. It had to have been 6 feet [...]

Okra and Tomatoes

July 7, 2009

Okra! It’s one of those vegetables where you find very little middle ground. It seems that people either love it or they hate it. I, of course, fall into the “love it” category. I like it every single way I’ve ever had it. Fried, boiled, in gumbo, in soup, and of course the classic dish of [...]

[BB] Sauteed Broccolini by the Barefoot Contessa

March 19, 2009

 Bonus time! The sauteed broccolini is a bonus Barefoot Blogger recipe for the month of March and it was chosen by Mary of Meet Me in the Kitchen. I actually made this to serve with the Chicken Piccata a few days ago. BeeBop and I were both kinda on the fence about it. I’ve cooked [...]

Roasted Veggies

March 6, 2009

This is really more of a technique than an actual recipe. When we think we could not possibly eat one more bite of steamed broccoli or green beans, I know it’s time to get out the baking pans and roast those veggies! Really, roasting is my favorite way of preparing most vegetables. It brings out the flavors [...]

Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes

February 19, 2009

This is a very easy, very quick side dish that compliments almost anything but is particularly good with roasted or baked chicken. I got the original recipe from allrecipes.com and have tweaked it only slightly. I cut the amount of butter in half. Also, the original used a tablespoon of sugar in the sauce and I [...]
